Background and Objectives Tinnitus, a common complaint of workers who are exposedto noise, can cause substantial negative effects on the quality of life of these workers. The aimof this study was to analyze the characteristics of tinnitus in patients with noise-induced hearingloss and the relationship between tinnitus and the duration of noise exposure. Subjects and Method Thirty-three patients with subjective tinnitus and noise-induced hearingloss were included in this study. Tinnitus questionnaire, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI)and audiological examinations were investigated according to the duration of noise exposure. Results There was a significant correlation between the tinnitus loudness and the durationof noise exposure. Patients who had longer periods of noise exposure had a louder tinnitus andhigher THI score. However, there is no significant correlation between the characteristics oftinnitus and aging process. Conclusion The duration of noise exposure influences the loudness and distress of tinnitus. An awareness of tinnitus should be considered as part of hearing conservation program.
